Citing Sources

   Does anyone have an article they can share that cites their sources at the end? I would like to look at one. (Preferably, one that is featured.) Thanks.

      Take a look at my green apple health benefits article. I have them as references as in a scientific paper and I refer to them through the article. The other option is to just list them out without direct reference numbers as in the screenshot chef uploaded.

         Thank you. I have them linked right now, but Hub prefers them at the end for this one.

         This is an interesting discussion. We do all our titles and headings in APA style. I recently looked through the style guide to find guidance on sources, wondering if we should use APA style for those, too. Looks like, so far, we can use any format we like? Let me know if I  missed something.
         
         Also, it used to be recommended to only use a snip of the web address and not a hyperlink in the sources. Looks like this has changed?

            Disregard this. :-) Found it. Right there in the writing guide under citations. :-)
            
            For the benefit of others who might stumble on this thread:
            
            APA style for citations, with hyperlinked titles rather than web addresses at the end.

            I do not know of a time when we were not allowed to add a link in the sources. As long as the link is not placed in full i.e. https://... but has some text that is linked out it is allowed. I noticed this was also mentioned in the guide you linked out to.

               Yes, that is true. I am talking about a  short period of time that I seem to remember from about 5-6 years ago. Lots of changes, huh? :-)

      Hi Abby I do not think it is okay to leave links here so you could look at my profile page. Near the top is an article on docile guard dogs. The references are at the bottom.
      What I usually do is put a capsule at the bottom of the article and include all of my sources there. The readers can go to them to read more, or ignore them, as they wish.
